Denials: Amy Winehouse and Soulja Boy

In least surprising news of the day, Amy Winehouse’s rep says she was NOT going to adopt 10-year-old Dannika Augustine of St. Lucia. Amy’s rep said, “It’s not true. I think [Amy] might have met her in St. Lucia, but she was in no way about to adopt her.”

So there goes that money grab by Dannika’s mom and grandma. Next time you try to claim a celebrity was about to adopt your kid, make sure the celebrity isn’t a recovering drug addict who couldn’t even take care of a pet rock.

In more surprising news of the day, Soulja Boy did not blow $55 million on a G5 jet. A rapper who lied about his extravagant spending? I do not believe. A spokesperson for the rapper says members of his inner circle perpetuated the lie. Soulja Boy even went on a Miami radio show after the story claiming to be “G5 status.”

Greg Miller, his spokesperson, issued a statement saying the rumors are not true. TMZ, attempting to retain credibility, claimed they talked to Shai Storm, a member of Soulja’s management team, his assistant and Soulja himself who said, “Hell yeah … I bought it.” Alright, alright, TMZ. I believe you. Sheesh. Calm down.
